I just doubt he's got much to do with the whiskey making process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 When Dylan buys a distillery on Islay, I'll be standing in line. Until then, ... not so much. My whisky tastes have evolved over the last 50 years, even if I haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCowboy Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I think of it more like burying my face in a peat bog. There's a certain sophistication among Scotch (single malt) scotch drinkers that I have always admired. Have wished many times that I could join that club, but the stuff always reminds me of the bouquet of paint thinner. Never having imbibed paint thinner, I can't compare the two in that regard, but it tastes to me like paint thinner smells. Is that convoluted or what?

My whisky tastes have evolved over the last 50 years, even if I haven't. Pretty hard to beat an Islay malt. I try to always have at least a bottle of Lagavulin and one of Laphroaig on hand, and a couple others for variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionMark Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Dylan's not making whiskey. He's making money. Perfect response. I plan on using the same response when people who know I am a Dylan fan (all eras) acost me on this one. QM aka Jazzman Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Kind of did all my drinking all at once... I need Dylan to make some good dark roast coffee beans.

E-minor7 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Em7's mate Donovan was a big admirer of the neatness of the cut peat on the Isle of Islay. Yes, excellent memory - still find that passage the most gentle and sensitive piece of the entire golden era. How blessed the forest with bird-song How neat the cut peat laid so long Not much booze in that tune however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinking Indian or the marine that went to war Not from Bob's ink-well, but he delivered it damn good.

Up to anybody to remember the song. Written by Peter Lafarge, one of the lesser-known lights of the NY folk revival scene of the early 60's. He has a pretty startling biography, which bears reading on Wikipedia. Sort of a Zelig-like tendency to show up at important junctures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 He any relation to pokey ? No. Pokey LaFarge is a stage name, like Bob Dylan. It would not be too surprising, however, if Pokey in some way adopted the LaFarge name in part as an indirect homage to the earlier singer/songwriter, much as Dylan did with the poet Dylan Thomas.
